I just found out that Humble Bundle has a book bundle for Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. A 39 book bundle that is redeemed through Kobo.com.
Edit: Only available in the US.

Not in Canada, it’s not.
@YurkshireLad I hadn’t noticed that. I just checked the other book bundles and didn’t see any restrictions so I’m guessing it has something to do with this bundle coming through Kobo which would be odd since Kobo is a Canadian company.
You could access the website, but I’m unclear on how the payment process works. Would canadian credit cards not be identifiable as being from Canada?
Just found out from that other Lemmy thread? Haha
- Can you download a DRM’d file from Kobo?
- Does it…ahem…can it “work” with something like Calibre?
Otherwise I will continue to slowly accumulate them through used bookstores.
Yes and yes. They use a couple of different drm schemes and you might need an adobe digital editions login for anything using the older one. The newer one doesn’t need anything special.
Nope, theres a .rar file with 61mb.

E-books are…fine. But there’s something about physical books that really appeals to me. I just don’t get the same experience when reading off a screen. To me, physical books vs e-books are like eating a real strawberry vs chewing strawberry flavored gum and I can’t fully explain why.
